I don't know much about PDA's, can someone explain the difference? Is it worth buying XDA IIi over XDA II
Well you would think it was an obvious answer, as the XDAIIi is the updated version then that would be better although I'm not so sure.
I have both the XDAII and the XDAIIi and there are some improvements, integrated WiFi and WM2003 SE being the most apparent.
However the New 1.3mp camera is ****e, worse than the original cam in the XDAII. The screen is badly lit aswell, I'm considering cancellin my connection on it.
i even had it swapped out once as was sure the poor screen was a defect, alas not.

I had a XDA2s and that was crap, the screen was yellow, so maye i am a bit biast but i think the XDA2i is very good, OK the camera is crap but then everyone have a proper digital camera, But the screen on my XDA2i is verry good, i like it compared to the old XDA2 as the WiFi is in it, as to the speed not sure if i notice any differance, and as to the more memory, well SD cards are cheap now so that makes no real differance

Hi all,
XDA Atom official specs here.
PRO:
- 416MHz Intel Bulverde CPU
- 128 MB storage, 64 RAM
- WM 5.0
- 262K colors
- WiFi 802.11b
- EDGE
- Radio FM
- Bluetooth 1.2 with: headset, hands-free, object push, serial port, dial-up network, advanced audio distribution (A2DP), Audio/Video Remote Control (AVRCP)
- 2.0 MPixel Camera with led flash
- stereo speaker
CONS:
- 2.7 inches screen (magician is 2.8 )
- miniSD slot !!!
It seems a good successor for our magician, ways better than MDA Compact II; miniSD slot however it's a great disadvantage!
Bye
What is the biggest size of mini-SD ? 512 MB ? 1024 MB ?
Which one will you buy ? ATOM or WIZARD ? and WHY ?

I won't buy a Wizard, too fat, too slow, and I don't need a wobbly keyboard.
I may buy the Atom because small size is 75% of what I'm looking for in a PPC phone. The Atom appears to be the smallest device with the most screen real estate possible. Eventually future models will get even thinner. I'll wait for a few reviews before taking the plunge. Meanwhile my Jam works just fine.
416MHz? The same as the Magician? Does this mean ROM compatibility?

My old Pentium II at school had a 400MHz CPU too but i don't think it was ROM-compatible with our magician!!!
But we can cross our fingers...
Bye bye,
Isidoro
CPU is the same (Intel PXA272 416MHz) but since the manufacturing company is different (Quanta instead of HTC), I doubt that the rest of the hardware is the same. Different hardware => different drivers => different ROMs :'(

According to mobile-review.com, the camera is not 2.0 Megapixel at all. It is the exact same old crapola camera with "software enhancement"/interpolation/whatever.
Other than that, the specs look good. Hopefully its a decent one.

The specifications say that it is a 2 MP CMOS Camera. The CMOS implies that it is not software interpolation. However, as has been said may times, 2MP guarantees size but not quality!
CMOS refers to a type of sensor - its nothing to do with the size of it (megapixels). The digital camera world is notorious for including these misleading "interpolation" specs as the specs of the lens, then explaining it in fine print elsewhere.
If this model features the same camera/lens as is found in the Wizard, then its a 1.3MP camera. Read here:
From: http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-wizard-en.shtml
The camera has the maximum physical resolution of 1.3 megapixel (1280x1024). At the same time "software" resolution is 2 megapixel by interpolating the initial image. There is no sense in such resolution (by this means the camera doesn't become a 2-megapixel one, the image quality isn't better), it's just a psychological thing

If its clearly known that this in the Atom is an entire different lens fromw hat is found in the sister models, that's one thing - okay. But given that these are all essentially mix-and-match models, built on the same generation, of the same platform, honestly I wouldn't hold your breath on that.
cmos is the camera ppc and nokia etc phones use (cause it uses less power) teh digital cameras have ccd (or something like this )lenses
the ccd camera of 1.3 megs resolution is better than cmos 1.3 camera
so dont hold your breath for the cmos 1.3 camera on the ATOM

I'm with you completely on this. What I meant is that usually when they say "2MP CMOS" they mean that the CMOS sensor is capable of reading 2MP.
When the resolution is interpolated they would say something like 2MP (1.3MP CMOS).
But this depends on how honest the company wants to be. It can be very misleading!
It seems that O2 has prepared two new mobile phones for December and hopefully they will become available just in time for Christmas. Unfortunately, those handsets are not listed in the global O2 portfolio yet. The O2 XDA Stellar and O2 XDA Orbit II will be offered at a subsidized prize with a fixed-term contract.
The HSDPA-enabled tri-band O2 XDA Stellar is a twin of the HTC TyTN II, a phone we've reviewed recently. It's a feature loaded QWERTY keyboard PocketPC, which comes with a 2.8" 65K TFT touchscreen display with QVGA resolution, built-in GPS receiver, a 400 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth v2.0, and a 3 megapixel autofocus camera.
The HSDPA-enabled quad-band O2 XDA Orbit II is another twin of an already announced HTC handset - this time it's HTC Touch Cruise. However, the XDA Orbit II has undergone several cosmetic design changes to meet the O2 requirements. The PocketPC flaunts a 2.8" 65K TFT touchscreen with QVGA resolution, built-in GPS receiver, 400 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth v2.0, and a 3 megapixel autofocus camera. The full TouchFLO technology is also present here. The original HTC Touch Cruise is not available yet, however HTC representatives promised that it would hit the stores before Christmas.
O2 has some more smarties in store for the Christmas shoppers. The other ones however are already available. Those are O2 XDA Comet, O2 XDA Terra, O2 XDA Nova and O2 XDA Argon.
The HSDPA enabled quad-band O2 XDA Comet is the same device as the O2 XDA Atom Life, but it is intended for the German market, while the XDA Atom Life is for the Asian market but doesn't has a close HTC relative. O2 XDA Comet comes with the latest Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional OS. The Comet is eqiuped with heavy arsenal onboard. It has a 2.7" 65K TFT touchscreen with QVGA resolution, 620 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM and a breath-taking 1GB ROM, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth v1.2, and a 2 megapixel camera.
The quad-band O2 XDA Terra, a remake of the HTC P4350, sports a 2.7" 65K TFT touchscreen display with QVGA resolution, full QWERTY hardware sliding keyboard, 200 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM and 128 MB ROM, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth v2.0, as well as a 2 megapixel camera.
The tri-band O2 XDA Nova, known elsewhere as HTC Touch, has too undergone several cosmetic design changes with the navigation panel to do with the one of Qtek S100. O2 XDA Nova is the first phone to include full TouchFLO technology, a 2.8" 65K TFT touchscreen with QVGA resolution, 201 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth v2.0, and a 2 megapixel camera.
The tri-band O2 XDA Argon, otherwise known as HTC P6300, houses a 3.5" 65K TFT touchscreen display with QVGA resolution, 400 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth v2.0, and a 2 megapixel camera.
Check out the up-coming O2 Zinc II and Atom V. According to Expansys-HK=obviously dropped the XDA logo, only prob. is they both still have a (sometimes crippling) 64MB RAM. -kinda nice looking though
Hi,
Well, to keep it short, I've been told by a friend in china that he can get me a htc hd2, but running on MTK OS instead of wm6.5, first i hesitated as i though it might be one of this ****ty clones that china produce, but he told me that it's from the main manufacturer whom already in china, maybe they produce it with this mtk with a good price due to high wm license prices...
I really like this phone but here in Egypt the price is almost 2.5X it's original price, so i thought i might get it and install wm6.5 on it instead of mtk, of course if it possible, so i need your opinion guys about this idea???!!!!!! and i would never find any place better that here for this matter....

thanks' in advance,

sounds like a bad rip-off to me.. .
why don't you get your friend to send it to you, then if its good pay him?
If he's a friend surely he'll do that?
otherwise if it sounds to good to be true then it's going to be too good to be true..
I'd steer clear
3MP camera? Should be 5MP if its genuine. Also apps like peep or footprints are winmo apps so wouldn't work on mtk
yea, maybe you'are right,,,
i will tell him to send it to me, in my hands i will know if it's a genuine or a f***** damn clone(sorry, i just hate those Chinese clones),,,
the price is $250 by the way,,,
but if so,,,is it still possible to load the original rom and wm6.5 to it?????

probably not.. unless it's 100% genuine..
if you could ask him to send some photo's of this device i would be interested. if i'd really turns out to be a authentic hd2 (what i honestly doubt verry much) its a great deal!
As far as I know, HTC only has manufacturing plants in Taiwan and Brazil. I have not heard that the company has set up any plants in China. My information may be outdated, but I checked on the web about this just a few weeks ago.
My guess is that it is a fake, and that the quality would be very much suspect.
And that MTK OS is pretty much exclusively used by Chinese phones - I'd see no reason to see it on an HTC device.

You are quite right. HTC only produces phones using Android, the Brew® Mobile Platform, or Microsoft's mobile platform. The MTK OS is popular in China, and part of it is it can be set up to look like an original, without the functionality.
MTK is actually the processor name, short for Media Tek. Try google "T8585 MTK HD2" and you will find some info regarding the latest model. I read somewhere the latest update even have multitouch capacitive WVGA display. BTW, it is quite a good clone, running updated public domain WM6.5 ... and cost a fraction of the real thing. I wonder if anyone is doing a homebrew for this?
BTW, beware that some sellers might post wrong specs... its running dual Core, MTK6516 ARM9 460MHz (applications) + 280MHz (phone), RAM: 256 MB / ROM: 512 MB, dual sim and no 3G ... unless they release a new update.

Jesus christ how many times is this going to get posted?
It's not true at all
lol... fake... the first poster even uses the same font and color that previous fake posts had
and to add another nail to the "fake" coffin. IF it ran W7S then it wouldnt have any external storage (as it mentions in the FAKE spec for micro sd cards up to 32gb)
Microsoft were very clear that all W7S phones would only use internal memory with no other memory slots or expansions available (ala iphone stylee)
If it is real, I will get one for sure
fake, not to mention...am I the only one that feels as though the HD2 is big enough as it is? 4.5" screen? good god, it wouldn't fit in my pockets, of that I'm sure.

We post it because it bothers you.
Well, who REALLY knows ?
Specs sound VERY realistic.
And as a matter of fact: HTC is one of the big shots in WinMo-Phones and their devs are always at the leading edge. So they will tell MS: either You agree to an exception (external mSD) or we simply install WM 6.5.x or Android. Anyway MS looses chances to sell SW but who cares about MS?
WP7 or not. This dream machine will come, it´s only natural evolution using the latest available hardware .................
too bad that the fastest snapdragon that was just announced is the 1.2ghz dual core

Come on 1 GB of ram what for insane specs needs windows phone 7. And 1.5 GHZ dual core proccesor yeah ok it is possible.
But this specs are alomst capable to run windows xp. I think something like the htc mondrian is more realistic.
